5One travel-associated case was imported to Dallas from Liberia, and resulted in transmission to two healthcare workers. One travel-associated case from Sierra Leone was imported to New York City. Travelers to Dallas or New York City are not at risk for exposure to Ebola.

6These countries are currently Ebola-free. One international importation from Liberia into Nigeria resulted in localized transmission (20 cases and 8 deaths), which has ceased.

CASE COUNTS:Note - The number of cases has been fluctuating due to unknown anomalies in the reporting of cases; we have not been able to ascertain why the CDC is reporting such wide fluctuations in reported cases, although the CDC stated in the last report on October 29th, 2014, that they observed reporting anomalies. No further clarification has been offered.

Countries with Limited Transmission

*The outbreaks of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Senegal and Nigeria were declared over on 17 October and 19 October 2014, respectively. A national EVD outbreak is considered to be over when 42 days (double the 21-day incubation period of the Ebola virus) has elapsed since the last patient in isolation became laboratory negative for EVD.
